2 eggs

Method

1.Preheat oven to l80&degC or l60&degC fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

2.Using an electric mixer, mix butter, cheddar cheese and parmesan cheese until well combined. Add 1 egg and mix well.

3.Add flour, and season with salt and cracked pepper. Fold with a large metal spoon, until dough just comes together.

4.Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Shape into a 2cm-thick oblong. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hr, until firm.

5.Remove dough from plastic wrap and roll out between two sheets of baking paper to 4mm thin. Cut out biscuits using a 5cm fluted cutter. Place on prepared trays. Re-roll offcuts and cut out more biscuits.

6.Lightly beat remaining egg. Brush each biscuit with egg, then scatter over sesame seeds.

7.Bake for l2-15 mins, until golden. Cool on trays for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
